Poilievre labels Singh “a fake, a phony and a fraud” during fiery debate in question period

The Leader of the official opposition Pierre Poilievre took aim at NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh on Thursday during question period in Canada's House of Commons.

"The NDP leader was terrified he was going to lose a by election in Winnipeg, an NDP stronghold. So he put out a Hollywood production where he claimed he had torn up the carbon tax coalition onto which he had signed up, that he was going to stop fighting for his pension and start fighting for the people. But once the votes were counted, he betrayed them again. He is a fake, a phony and a fraud. How can anyone ever believe what this sellout NDP leader says in the future?" Poilievre stated.

But Thursday's session of question period was marred by interruptions throughout the proceedings prompting the speaker of the House Greg Fergus to step in numerous times and provide warning to members.

"We also have to make sure that we work within the rules that we have. We have so many other tools available to us as members to make the comments that we need to make, outside of questions, to comment about how we want to do it. Now. While the microphone was off, there were, I would suspect, although the chair didn't hear, that there might have been some strong words which were exchanged between members," Fergus cautioned.
